KENYA TSAVORITE ADVENTURE
KENYA TSAVORITE ADVENTURE
Campbell Bridges looking at a Tsavorite gemstone held between his thumb and index finger after sorting through the latest production from his mine in Mindi-Kandashi, Kenya, on Thursday, April 6, 2006. Bridges is the first man to record the discovery of exceptionally brilliant stone, one of the youngest green gemstones in the world. The stone is as hard as one of the oldest, emerald. Tsavorite, however, is at least 200 times rarer, is much tougher, less brittle, more durable and is twice as brilliant as emerald - qualities that attract jewelers seeking colored stones for use in settings that excludes visible prongs or support.
